Convivium

Convivium is famous resto in Jakarta. They are famous with their red velvet cake, which is so hype right now. Then I am so lucky could taste their red velvet cake. Beside that, I also tasted their pasta. They have amazing kind of pasta. They have risotto, cannelloni, ravioli, spaghetti, angel hair, etc. Like no other western resto, they made by themself their pasta. So, if you are pasta lover, you have to coming here, taste their homemade pasta also their hospitality. Convivium located in south Jakarta, it is unfamiliar area for me, coz I live in west Jakarta. But it is easy to find Convivium.

For my first visit, I forgot to reserved so I sat in high chair. Luckily I am tall enough but it was uncomfortable for eat a main course. The tall chair is match for tea time. But so far their service is nice. Then the ambient, I like their ambient so much. Their ambient is reminds me my grandma home. It is comfy and bold, with many wood colour in several part also they have a cute decoration also they have open kitchen.

For the complimentary, I got a cheese stick, it is delicious and crunchy. I like their complimentary snack.

Then for food, I ordered Straccetti Cream Mushroom is little bit hard to remember the name. Even the stracetti looks like not really nice, but it is so yummy also so great. Stracetti feels like big fettucine with cream mushroom. It is new pasta that I ever taste. Then Vina ordered Potato Raveoli. Raveoli is pasta which fill with something, for this food, raveoli filled by potato. For me it is little bit weird coz you combine between pasta which is carbo with potato which is carbo too. I think it is too much carbo for this food. But Vina said the raveolie was good. She likes it.

Potato Raveoli Rp.60,000,-

Straccetti Cream Mushroom Rp.50,000,-

For dessert, we ordered red velvet cake. Since their red velvet is famous I am little bit worried that the red velvet cake was sold out. Lucky me, I ordered with pasta. Coz when I wanna go home I ask the waiter to take away and she said it was sold out. For the first time I knew the red velvet cake in Convivium top with coconut, I think I might be don't like it but after I tried them. I really love convivium red velvet.The red velvet, it is so great. Even the texture is too soft (coz red velvet cake cannot stand up) then the sweet level, the cream chesse is great. This cake is reminds me about red velvet cupcake in Bittersweetco. It is same taste and the cream chesse looks same

Red Velvet Cake Rp.38,000,-

For having lunch or dinner here, I suggest you to reserved first. The chair is limited so better you make sure that you've place, so you won't waiting for being place. Then for me, I will be back for try their rainbow cake (they have rainbow cake but when I ordered was sold out) also their steak. I looks yummy too.
